>Tool of the week is fingernail profile jigs, all brands. What are the good points and bad of each?

I have Sorby and Wolverine and can give some comparisons on these but there are several more out there. As you state which one you use, also tell us which grinder because I think some jigs work better with 6" grinders than others.Thanks for your input.

>I use several. The Oneway VariGrind, the Ellsworth, and a trio of homemade jig that a member of our club sells (see pic). All have their uses in the different grinds that I use.

>I like the long celtic grind that comes from Hamlet. They now offer a grinding jig that they use on a 6" wheel in the factory.
